MEXICO CITY - Seven farm workers apparently were shot dead in a gangland-style killing in northeast Mexico, local television reported Wednesday. Televisa network news showed pictures of the bodies, all of which had signs of gunshot wounds to the napes of the necks when they were found about 50 miles south of Culiacan, capital of northwestern Sinaloa state. Televisa said marijuana seeds and farm implements were found near the bodies in a field that had been cleared for planting.
